- Despite heavy casualties during the battle of Kosovo (1389) against a broad alliance of the Balkan peoples led by Serbian lord Lazar and battle of Nicopolis (1396) against European Crusaders led by Jean of Never, Sigismund I of Hungary and Mircea I of Wallachia, Ottoman empire continued to expand under the leadership of sultan Yildirim Bayezid I. To the east new empire under amir Timur (Tamerlane) was on the rise and as the borders of two empires touched, the war was inevitable. The battle of Ankara of 1402 was one of the biggest fought between the Muslim empires. At the same time, results of this massive battle impacted Ottoman, Timurid, Byzantine empires and changed the course of the history of Europe, Asia, Middle East and Balkans.

I would say that the first Twitter war happened between Spartans and Philip, father of Alexander.
When he came to Sparta he said "Open your gates and surrender. For if I win, if I invade your city, you will suffer, you will be dead, your women will be humiliated, your children will be enslaved."
But Spartans answered shortly with a single word: "If".

After the battle of Ankara, Bayezid was captured. Timur started to smile when he saw Bayezid.
Bayezid ; Why are you laughing ?

If Timur didn't die on his way east, he would have to fight the great Yongle Emperor of Ming China. That would be an epic confrontation.
@Gladius pax
Ming empire was at its full might under the reign of Yongle Emperor, who drove the Mongols further north and had enough experience in dealing with nomad empires. It was unlikely that Timur could win and there would be no massacres across China. Also, by 'epic' I never mean I wish it had happened.
@Gladius Pax
He's kinda right
The ming yongle emperor controlled large swathes of land in china all the way up to manchuria even defeating the mongols in the north
I still think Emir timur pulling through against the ming dynasty would have been a tall order
Possibly his hardest conquest
Genghis invaded a divided china and struggled to out down the song dynasty which held out until kublai Khan's reign
This was a unified china under ming dynasty

No he won't and he had a smaller army , Timur was at 68 years old and weakened after years of battles and wars , he was sick in the first place , Ming China was powerful and technologically better than Timurid Empire , Timur would probably killed , Genghis Khan was also killed but against a much weaker , divided China .

Ming China at that time didn't have a experienced army like had Timur. Experience in Great Battles gives 1 big advantage. China just won small beylicks of mongols...same done turkic nomads tribes. Then Timur have United them. China would lost to 500.000 army that last 30 years was fighting....
>"Timur didn't want to start a war against a fellow Muslim superpower"
>immediately insults said fellow Muslim superpower
I guess it was worded poorly. We were going for "Timur didn't want to be an aggressor in a possible war against a fellow Muslim superpower.
Ah, that makes more sense.
Bel-Shamharoth
Wrong... Timur didn't want to fight Bayazid. Timur have seen in Bayazid a Great Muslim leader who fought for Islam, spread Islam around the world. But Bayazid was very careless... Timur have seen Bayazid as himself.... Timur took Castle of Smirna in couple of months.... While Bayazid was fighting 12 years with Ionit knights...
Did you...not watch the video? Did you not hear the quote I was referring to?
Timur Becuz bayezid never focused on smyrna. He was focused on Balkans-Anatolia and Constantinople.
When Serbian actually more loyal to Turks than tatars do

Well as a Serbian I can say its better fighting for ottoman empire since it was not really that genocidal st that time and timurid empire was one of most horror empires and if they expanded to europe they would massacre alot of civilians also the ottomans were even peaceful in the occupied lands more than catholics and byzantines who previrously owned these lands

@@mjhmab But Temur did not want the Muslims of his empire to accuse him of destroying the Islamic power that waged war on the "infidels", and planned a brilliant distracting maneuver. This maneuver was the capture of Smyrna, the possession of the Knights of Rhodes, the European enclave in Anatolia, which withstood the siege of Murad, then Bayazed himself, due to its advantageous geographical position. This fortress, protected by high thick walls, stood on the shore, adjacent to the sea, and a deep moat was dug in front of it and a powerful wall was built. She had an inner harbor so that she could receive help by sea. On December 2, 1402, Temur appeared before Smyrna and invited the knights to surrender, promising to save their lives if they converted to Islam. After a categorical refusal, he concentrated all his troops there. The capture of Smyrna proves how skillful Temur was in the siege and storm of fortresses: the Ottomans stomped around Smyrna for ten years, and he achieved success in a few days. His sappers began with the construction of a bridge over the moat, then destroyed the outer wall and went to the fortifications. They destroyed them at the base, using peaks, leverage, fire, burning oil, cold water and even vinegar. To protect themselves from the shells of the besieged, they came up with mobile fences that were constantly saturated with vinegar, which made them fireproof. But the most remarkable thing in this siege is the construction of a huge wooden flooring in the sea, which turned into a "land" the part of the city facing the sea, so that no ship could enter or leave the harbor. From this flooring the soldiers began to make holes in the walls with unprecedented frenzy. The best archers of the Great Emir fired at the besieged, who tried to prevent the destruction of the walls. Temur gave the order to set fire to the huge logs supporting the walls. When they collapsed, a massive assault began. The population and the garrison were destroyed, after which the victors demolished the fortifications and set fire to the city. The ships that came to the aid of Smyrna were forced to retreat under a hail of shells fired from catapults. Despite this action against Christians, the Great Conqueror received gratitude and offers of alliance from many European monarchs. After messages from the king of Spain, he received similar letters from Charles V, the French king; Henry IV, king of England; and Manuel, emperor of Byzantium. Emperor Trebizond became his vassal, just like his longtime rival, the Egyptian sultan, who sent his envoy with a letter, which promised to mint coins and render prayers in honor of the victor in all cities of Syria and Egypt. This brilliant victory, admittedly, made the stay of the Great Emir at the gates to Europe unnecessary. He believed that fate would call him further east to this “wicked” China Min, where crowds of pagans were waiting for “fire and sword” to convert to true faith.
Timur was a small dick mongol lol
There was a reason that Prince Lazar continued to fight voluntarily even when the battle turned against the Ottomans. He was protecting his sister who was in a camp nearby. She was the wife of Bayezit. All three were the children of the two men who had fought each other at the Battle of Kosovo.

He greet him as a kinsman then realised Bayezid's eyes twitching.Timur laught. Bayezid tought he mock with him and said "You claim yourself conquer sultan and laughting at me like that?".

Stefan was known as the Europe's greatest knight, he embodied the ideal, and many knights from all over Europe came to him to be knighted. His tournaments were also famous, and his cavalry charge was unstoppable, and he had only 300 knights in this battle if I recall correctly.

2 nd thing channel missed: At the beginning of the war, Bayezid was not there and Timur was waiting for him by playing chest (imagine how strong Timur is). This means Ottoman army was already dying of thirst so when the Bayezid arrived to battlefield, Timur just captured him. Timurs army overwhelmingly won.

The same way Muslim armies called on the people to defend against “aggression wars by the infield”. Why don’t you just shut the fuck up and let the same people enjoy learning.

Timur was horrifically brutal and merciless, but also a brilliant conqueror just as great as Genghis Khan himself.
he was also an excellent chess player too
When Timur declared his banner, a handful of men followed him. It is said 40 men, well because it is always 40 men in Turkish myths. They remained loyal to him and became his generals. On an account he is believed to say, addressing Bayezit I "the Lightning" : "I didn't sleep at nights. I hunted to feed my men, and in the morning we rode. We went on like this for years. I built this empire with my hands, with my blood and sweat. It wasn't handed over to me by my father like you."
Bayezit "the thunderbolt" would be a better translation for his nickname which he got by reaching Ankara in such short time. Look what he got for that.
@@lastflightofosiris while Bayazid, deciding his affairs in the Balkans, promoting the Islamization and omanization of the population of the Balkans, his son Suleiman “clashed” with the Turkmen ruler Kara Yusuf, defeated him and captured him. Since Kara Yusuf was a subject of Tamerlane, Bayazid made himself a very formidable enemy. Not to say that Tamerlane did not glance at the lands of the Ottomans, but his gaze extended further to Syria, and to the Holy Land. To resolve the situation, Tamerlan writes Bayazid a letter. I will give in a somewhat abbreviated form. “What is the reason for your recklessness and arrogance? You fought several battles in the forests of Anatolia. Poor trophies. You won several victories over Christians in Europe, such a sword was blessed by the apostle of God, and your adherence to the command of the Koran in the war against the infidels is the only consideration that keeps us from destroying your country, the borders and strongholds of the Muslim world ... Show wisdom in time, think and repent and prevent the thunderbolt of our retribution, which still hangs over your head. You are no more than an ant, why are you teasing elephants? Alas, they will trample you under their feet. ”

The biggest impact of Timur was not this battle and its consquences, it was taking down of Golden Horde. Granted, Ottomans got into civil war, but their incredible administration and law system prevented any breakup. On the other hand, when Timurleng defeat twice Tokthamesh and destroy their armies, Golden Horde declined very fast -eventually dissolved- and Russians became unified and began to show up in theatre of history.
Indeed, the weakening of the Golden Horde allowed Russia, and Eastern Europe in general, to develop.

Stefan's father died during the battle. He was not executed by Bayezid. But yeah, I agree with the second part of your comment.
At that time Ottomans were preferable to Catholic west by any Orthodox because it was a multicultural state which practiced freedom of religion. For example, opening of "bars and pubs" were prohibited for muslims but it was allowed for Christians. That's why Ottoman alcoholic beverage culture is mostly Greek and Armenian, for example.

Yeah mercenary betrayals have changed the course of many battles. Like at Talas River where after days of fighting the Karluks betrayed the Tang dynasty and handed the Abbasids the victory. Lesson there is don't hire so many mercs that they outnumber your regulars lol
Farhan The Badass Scizor That is why you always send them in first, before your professional army. Send at least a brigade or battalion behind them so that they can't escape. If the battle goes well and you win. You can pay your mercs with spoils of war. Other wise don't count on them. Cause some merc have no honor among others. Some do as long you pay them. And then their are the ones who will bolt when things get ugly. So that's why you send them in first.
Ottoman history resembles an EU IV campaign more than most.
Yeah, that is a great comparison. :-) And when they got bigger, everybody united against them and so on. :-)
Kings and Generals I'm just genuinely so impressed that you reply to almost each and every comment in your videos. Brilliant.
Thank you! Interaction with the viewers is one of the best things about youtube. :-)
Eh, in EUIV when you get big it is hard to lose but the Ottomans somehow managed. So not a great comparison.

Did you know that Prince-Suleiman actually awarded the Christian-Serbs for their bravery and loyalty to the Ottoman-Army. Serbian-Soldiers were given women, gold, silver and vast-riches to bring home to Serbia. As a sign of thanks the Serbs helped the Ottomans route out the Sunni-Tatars of the tribes that had sided with Timur. This is an example of even if your side loses, the loyalist will be regarded with respect and honor and be dulely thanked. But the traitors will always recieve a "traitor's-welcome!!!"

Hassan Abdulsalam Every ruler in central Asia claimed to be a Mongolian as well as a direct descendant of Ghengis for legitimacy. it was not difficult to claim descent because of how many kids Ghengis and his family had.
Hassan Abdulsalam Timur is defenitely not a Mongolian, It's impossible to thrace down the origins of a puny tribe in the middle Central Asia. Timur defenitely has more Turkic features than Mongolian, you can obviously see that on his facial reconstruction the soviets did.
The idea or misinformation of Timur being of a Turkified Mongol tribe is according to a puny historian that doesn't understand why Timur claimed to be of Mongol decent while it's obvious for many prestigious historians.
He tried to link himself with Genghid and married a Mongolian princess and called himself'the groom'.
He did talk Turkic, was Turkic, had Turkic culture but adhered the Mongol identity over the Turkic one.

mohmad shahin Timur was basically an uzbek with mongolian roots
Timur was a greater conqueror than Alexander the Great and "Attila the Hun".
There is a story (though it might be apocryphal) about Timur's tomb. In June 1941, the Soviets excavated Timur's tomb in Samarqand where they found an inscription underneath his coffin: "Whosever disturbs this tomb will unleash an invader more terrible than I". A few days later, the Germans launched Operation Barbarossa.
In 1942, the Soviets reburied Timur with full Islamic rites, shortly before the success of Operation Uranus in Stalingrad.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tīmūr bin Taraghay Barlas (Chagatai Turkic): تیمور - Tēmōr, iron) (1336 - February 1405) was a fourteenth-century warlord of Turco-Mongol descent[1][2] Timur (timoor') or Tamerlane (tăm'urlān), (c.1336-1405), the Mongol conqueror, was born at Kesh, near Samarkand. Timur was a member of the Turkic Barlas clan of Mongols, conqueror of much of Western and central Asia, and founder of the Timurid Empire (1370-1405) in Central Asia and of the Timurid dynasty, which survived in some form until 1857. He is also known as Timur-e Lang which translates to Timur the Lame. He became lame after sustaining a leg injury as a child.

The video stated that after suffering casualties serbians split in two one side remained on the right flank and the other helled the prince. But in truth the mongols couldnt do damage to them with arrows, they would have needed crosbows or warhammers or another heavy cavalry army. So they escaped because they had superior armor.

How the fuck 18k merc change sides that's a big number. I mean, how can they communicate in the thick of war and decide to backstab, especially in the medieval ages. Can they just plan that among themselves before battle without anyone else noticing it?
Vasslander "hey my friend changed sides i should change aswell ottomans are going to lose anyway"
Domino effect
Vasslander It is Easy the solderis get order and do it .Just a small group needs to chang sides and The rest follows
So, the problem with the pre-modern armies is the fact that they were built on a tribal basis. Basically, every tribe and group had its leaders and camp, so it was not difficult to plan something nefarious.
Fake Name did they even have officers
They did have officers. Mongol-Tatar armies implemented a very clear system very early. Leader of 10 "onbaşı", leader of 100 "yüzbaşı", leader of 1000 "minbaşı", leader of 10000 etc.
Terrific video, but please note that in Timur's memoirs he gave short thrift to his battle with Bayazid, but talked extensively about the challenge Toktamish presented in the 2 battles vs the Golden Horde. I would like to note that in my opinion Timur's campaign vs the Golden Horde up in the Samara region at the battle on the Kondurcha river was one of the greatest military campaign by anyone anywhere ever. To chase down arguably the best cavalry in the world in the heart of their domain, 1,500 miles from your base of operations where the enemy has not only a decisive manpower advantage, but the benefit of more well rested horses, supplies and knowledge of the local terrain, and win the battle, even if just barely, says it all about Timur and his military!!
Turks vs Turks again a brother fight...
Iboo // sad 😔
@@Green-zw9pv while Bayazid, deciding his affairs in the Balkans, promoting the Islamization and omanization of the population of the Balkans, his son Suleiman “clashed” with the Turkmen ruler Kara Yusuf, defeated him and captured him. Since Kara Yusuf was a subject of Tamerlane, Bayazid made himself a very formidable enemy. Not to say that Tamerlane did not glance at the lands of the Ottomans, but his gaze extended further to Syria, and to the Holy Land. To resolve the situation, Tamerlan writes Bayazid a letter. I will give in a somewhat abbreviated form. “What is the reason for your recklessness and arrogance? You fought several battles in the forests of Anatolia. Poor trophies. You won several victories over Christians in Europe, such a sword was blessed by the apostle of God, and your adherence to the command of the Koran in the war against the infidels is the only consideration that keeps us from destroying your country, the borders and strongholds of the Muslim world ... Show wisdom in time, think and repent and prevent the thunderbolt of our retribution, which still hangs over your head. You are no more than an ant, why are you teasing elephants? Alas, they will trample you under their feet. ”

Stefan the Serb was really a warrior.
The battle was a major victory for Timur, and it led to a period of crisis for the Ottoman Empire (the Ottoman Interregnum). However, the Timurid Empire went into terminal decline following Timur's death just three years after the battle, while the Ottoman Empire made a full recovery, and continued to increase in power for another two to three centuries.
Yeah but Timurids also remained significant power still having control essential areas like khorosan and transaxonia from where by the time of Babur they started to invade indian subcontinent and u know rest is history

As someone who’s from the Amir Temur’s land: this was the biggest mistake of Temur. Otherwise Ottomans would have easily conquered weak divided Europe and Temur would have conquered China. So Timur was Europe’s savior from Ottomon.
China in this time just had subjugated Mongols empire and was at the zenith of their military strength. It would be very interesting to oberserve which side would win the war. The militant chinese emperor Yongle already began to levy his troops to fight off Timurlan.

@@conqiucius
Wrong...at this time china just ended civil war between 2 brother Ming dynasty. It was weak.... half of the China would capitulated without the battle.
@Dmon Blu Initially, 200 thousand soldiers were supposed to be sent against the Ming empire, but as a result, Timur went to conquer China with an army of 800 thousand people. At the forefront, in the first echelon, there were 20 thousand selected horsemen, veterans - the winners of the Delhi and Egyptian-Syrian sultanates, the Golden Horde and the Ottoman Empire, who were tasked with a forced march to overcome the desert that separates East Turkestan from China [11, p. 70]. Having learned about the military preparations of Timur, the Minsk emperor Zhu Di (aka Yongle) ordered the Chinese army to prepare to repel a possible attack on the empire. However, the extent to which she was able to withstand the army of Timur, remained unknown.

I recommend you to respect every nation! 4 out 5 countries in Central Asia are Turkic countries including Uzbekistan! Transoxania nowadays Uzbekistan has conquered by many Empires they're Persians, Alexander the great, Turkic nomads, Arabs and Mongols in the late XVIII by Russian empire. After Mongol invasion they didn't become Mongols but Mongols adapted to local culture and religion. If you do research main languages of Chagatai Khanate were Chagatai (later Uzbek), Persian, Arab so Uzbek language is government language of Uzbekistan and it's Turkic language also Uzbek people are Turkic Nation!

Vlach means romance language speaker. The Greeks started to use the term for shepherds because most of the shepherds in Balkans were romance speakers. This was done to make difference between Greeks (Romanoi) and Romanians because both were referring to themselves as Romans.

Really? How about those Muslim's, who wanted to fight him?
Tohtamysh wanted war, Bayazed wanted war, Egypt Sultan wanted war.
For Timur was important just recognition of his country and his power.
And he united Turkistan and Turan Empire.
He was merciful to any Muslim, who stopped resisting against him, and recognises his power.
That is all.

Vast majority of Serbian prisoners were released by Timur in the honour of Stefan Lazarević. Timur kept it aroun 300 Serbian prisoners because they were good builders and they needed to him. Serbian builders built many buildings in Samarkand which are today on the UNESCO list of World Heritage Sites. These Serbs were converted to Islam and married to local women, theirs descandants today live in Samarkand without any doubt, but they don't know that they have far Serbian origin by male line.
